5. Someone please take Hamonic out back and put him out of his misery

6. This fucking guy

7. Lol

8. Hammer didn’t deserve this

9. From the title I was like “good for you Hamonic” and then the video fukkkk

10. Lmfao

    This fucking guy man…

11. It comes with the #52

12. I was shouting for the last 4 minutes of the game, ‘DON’T PUT Hamonic on the ice!!!”, they did after the ENG and first touch of the puck he flips it on an Avs player’s back when trying to clear it that almost leads to a chance to spoil the shutout.

    It is astounding how anytime he is on the ice he operates unwillingly as the 6th skater for the opposing team.

13. I can’t fathom what would possess one to move their stick in that motion with the puck coming to the net at that angle. Either tie up the Av stick or deflect the puck behind the net. Swiping forward looks like he forgot whose net he was at…

14. We were really scrambling that period

15. An yet he continues to see ice time.

16. Steve please make a trade

17. Is Hamonic really better than Holl or Gustafsson?

18. Doing the ol Paul Coffey I see.

19. Beats Coffey potting the own goal against the Avs in the ’96 playoffs.

    I almost stroked out that day.

20. Hamonic is a great guy, seems to be good for the locker room but man, on the ice he’s such a huge liability…

21. I knew it was close to going in in real time, but didn’t realize just how bad this was watching last night, lol.

22. I was wondering when we traded Hamonic to the Avs. Maybe we should

23. If he would’ve scored an own goal there I swear I would have thrown one of my Hamonic jerseys on the ice!

    Oh, who am I kidding, I could never part with ’em.

24. I am trying to figure out what he was trying to do with his stick lol 😆

25. Someone show this clip to Todd please

26. oh, pornstache, you old so and so. what would we do without you causing us extreme anxiety every shift

27. Jesus that was way too close. Please get better Ed

28. This was probably his best game as a wing.

29. He’s a nhl plant, to bring the wings down from the inside.

    They’ll likely shock his testicles for this.

30. Oh my god. I never saw this

31. The closest the avalanche got to scoring all night wasn’t from MacKinnon… Wasn’t from Makar… it was Travis fucking Hamonic… dude is severely underrated

32. Has anyone watched enough gr this season to know how wallinder would do as a defensive d guy at the nhl level? I feel like he at least deserves a shot at this point I’ve noticed he doesn’t really produce but does that even matter when your job is just to shut people down?

33. Title had me very confused

34. I’ve seen this about 20 times now and I still can’t believe it didn’t go in.
    My heart can’t take it anymore!

35. Hamonic pretty ballsy passing the puck to himself off the bar.

36. everyone beating on Hamonic must have forgotten the self-own goal by Seider not all that long ago. The dude didn’t do anything wrong here.

37. Oh, Hamonic…

    Can we get a top 4 D-man? Is that just a pipe dream at the deadline? I’m actually asking.

38. I don’t even understand how you make a motion towards a puck in that position. I bet he was trying to get his stick past the puck and tried to catch it to backhand it away but you can’t take that chance in a 1-0 game. Or anytime really.

39. You know what’s crazy? I had forgotten until I was reading a recent article in The Athletic about comps for Edvinsson, but Hamonic was legitimately *good* for a few seasons as an Islander before turning into the Travis Hamonic we all know and…love?

    Like, you know how Edvinsson looks really good, especially for a really young defenseman? OG Travis Hamonic was his closest comp. That’s how good Hamonic was…and then he just collapsed after his 4th or 5th season.

40. At first I was thinking Hamonic did something good defensively.

    Nope.

41. You’d think that Hamonic shot it into the net and then ate someone’s child on the ice based on these comments. It didn’t go in. He stopped a play. It’s fine.
